Re: THE WOLVERINE Trailer Thread - First Full Teaser Online March 27th

When I first saw that still last week it took me awhile to understand what is going on with Wolverine's right arm. At first it looks like it's fading away or disappearing, then I realized there is another rock in the foreground obstructing part of the view.

A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coataround a young boy's shoulders to let him know the world hadn't ended.

Re: THE WOLVERINE Trailer Thread - First Full Teaser Online March 27th

Oh, so my first impression was accurate then. It's weird because it almost looks like his arm has faded into the rock or something. But it's most likely the mud and staining that makes that appear so.

Okay, yea, I see it now.

Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it's unnatural. You just have to imagine some stuff yourself, not everything needs to be explained. I have no problem imagining Wolverine going from X3 ending state to the start of The Wolverine. There are not that many pieces one have to add. And hopefully the movie itself will add some of it's own. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the problem here if you just use some imagination.

I somwhat agree with the cure angle being a bit of a retread, but I'm waiting to see how it's being presented and in what context. Personally I hope that the cure thing is more of a plot device than a huge part of the whole story arc.

I loved the trailer, and actually really liked the train sequence. I thought the effects looked fine. Train sequence looks like it's going to be an andrenaline rush. I'm glad The Wolverine isn't going to pretend to be some 'artsy' movie. I'm not sure why so many of you wanted that.

Re: THE WOLVERINE Trailer Thread - First Full Teaser Online March 27th

Yeah, I doubt the comic it's based on is actually 'artsy'. It may try to ask questions and explore some concepts, but there's a way to go before it becomes 'artsy'. I think The Wolverine can explore some themes without trying to be something it's not.

With this film, 3 out of the 5 X-Men films will have been mainly about the giving and/or taking away of mutant powers. Four if you loosely count X-Men Origins with the Weapon X/XI stuff.

I don't see it as 'more cures' since in X3 and before Wolverine never showed much interest in it. Post X3 where it's likely people know it's a dud and the X-men are no more and Wolverine is struggling with the loss of Jean, then I can see Wolverine being more interested when an old friend offers him an out he never considered was possible.

Re: THE WOLVERINE Trailer Thread - First Full Teaser Online March 27th

is the budget for this really only 100 million. If so, kudos to the studio. The Wolverine will hopefully show people that you don't need 200 plus million dollars to make a good comic book movie. having intense fight scenes with wolverine is a nice change of pace to the 'splosion fest a lot of other movies resort to.

bigger aint always better.

to think the amazing spider-man cost 230 million...

Agreed. Jackman delivers a far better vocal performance than Blum, the latter remaining tediously one note, wearing the iconic growl even to the most emotionally inappropriate tone, whereas Jackman composes a three dimensional soundscape, a man who delivers understated movie coolness, but also fear, doubt, anxiety, and sorrow, cockyness and sensitivity, be unexpectedly noble and astonishingly feral.

Will they show his father to be that of absorbing powers to try to make the film about fahters and sons and their logical relationships and illogical choices with each other, like sins of father go to the sons to make it very artistic and retro like other successful marvel film franchises have done.

Remember, bathar al ul wurg... that's the name of which these films all have to stand on whether it's for peace, posterioty or action. Action is only a means to try to bring violence to the screen. These films SHOULD argue for peace, I hope Wolverine finds peace in Japan and rests there. Lord knows he's probably wondering around right now wondering what to do as all the life arounds him passhes by with his unique immortality given to him by Adamantium metallics workings into his skull, bones, claws, sacrum and pelvis.

That $100 million could be the amount after the Australian tax breaks.
